So are Microscales hets or incomplete dominants?

Incomplete dominant, the heterozygous form is microscale, the scales are missing on the head and the scales on the snake have a different look. The homozygous form is scaleless. It’s similar to scaleless head and a microscale scaleless head produces a scaleless snake.

Erie-herps nailed it.

Thanks. I did a brief search and couldn’t find anything then I was like oh yea the MorphMarket community can answer.

Both.

As Riley notes, in the heterozygous form, you have the Microscale phenotype and in the homozygous you have a scaleless phenotype. Genes exhibiting this behaviour are are expressed in an incomplete-dominant manner

So would you call this Microscale or Scaleless Head
